But neither one nor the other. Now it seems impossible for Central to miss the definition of the Complementation area, even losing to Lanús in the south of Buenos Aires, and Newell’s complicated itself. He lost at the most inopportune moment, before the direct rival who now equaled him in points, which forces him to win against Racing and still be aware of what will happen in Liniers, where Vélez will receive the, perhaps, worst team of the whole championship as is Godoy Cruz. There are only two goals difference between the lepers and the fortineros.
In any other circumstance, it must also be said, arriving at the last leading day and with that goal difference it would have been to assess. But everything has to do with the contexts and yesterday clearly said that it depended exclusively on Newell’s. Not now, despite Kudelka’s later statements. Simply because mathematically, objectively, it is not so.
This time Newell’s did create many good situations to unbalance and in fact the former leper goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos was the figure. But in this time of ups and downs of the team that does not manage to be reliable enough, it must also be said that he almost never had the ball, that Vélez dominated and that when that translated into depth, it led to the result as well. Thus a streak of five leprous triumphs in a row was aborted, which were not correlated to great performances, where of course the numerous absences due to injuries surely influenced as well.
A real shame the wasted possibility. It cannot be hidden. To reach the last date even without worrying about playing it with all the headlines, now it will be of maximum tension. What would have been worse if Racing won last night in Santiago del Estero, because it would also have had chances. But the next rival will also want to dismiss his coach, Sebastián Becaccece, in the best way, and it will not be an easy nut to crack. Now it will be a litmus test, of character, with the plus that the one who now expects the decisive game in San Juan very surely is Central. In the Park, they surely took him prisoner.
The change that brought annoyance
Pablo Pérez did not like leaving the field. First he showed surprise and when he got to the bank he did it in a bad way (he hit a pineapple on the armchair) and with various insults. The 8, who had been booked, has 3 yellows. With 4 is Angelo Gabrielli.
Five wins. That was the brand where Newell’s stalled. He lost the chance to match the streak of 6 achieved by the Tata Martino team, champion in 2013.
